Monkey long believed extinct found in Indonesia (AP)

JAKARTA, Indonesia ? Scientists working in the dense jungles of Indonesia have "rediscovered" a large, gray monkey so rare it was believed by many to be extinct.

They were all the more baffled to find the Miller's Grizzled Langur in an area well outside its previously recorded home range.

The team set up camera traps in the Wehea Forest on the eastern tip of Borneo island in June, hoping to captures images of clouded leopards, orangutans and other wildlife known to congregate at several mineral salt licks.

The pictures that came back caught them all by surprise.

The monkeys ? with black faces framed by a fluffy, white collars ? were so rare no one recognized them at first.
